Programming Information for WiNRADiO G69DDC receiver.

The G69DDC API SDK is implemented as a dynamic library (libg69ddcapi.so) for 32-bit i386 and 64-bit x86_64 platforms. It provides object-oriented and non-object-oriented interfaces to control the G69DDC device. This document describes the non-object-oriented interface. The libg69ddcapi.so library exports several functions which makes it possible to control G69DDC receivers.

The API is not fully thread-safe so preferably it should be used in single-threaded applications. It can be used in multi-threaded applications as well, but with some care: One G69DDC receiver can be controlled from a single user thread only.

A C/C++ header file g69ddcapi.h is a part of the SDK.

Using the WiNRADiO G69DDC API

Loading the API

The lib69ddcapi.so library can be loaded to the application using the dlopen function of dynamic linking loader (link with -ldl). After the library is loaded, it is necessary to get addresses of exported functions. When the API is no longer required in the memory, the dlclose function can be used to unload the API. Before the dlclose is called, all the handles to G69DDC devices returned by the OpenDevice function must be closed by the CloseDevice function, otherwise the application may enter an unpredictable state.

The following source code shows how to load the API.

 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
#include "g69ddcapi.h"

G69DDC_OPEN_DEVICE OpenDevice;
G69DDC_CLOSE_DEVICE CloseDevice;
void *API;

void main(void)
{  
    //Loading the API
    API=dlopen("libg69ddcapi.so",RTLD_LAZY);

    if(API!=NULL)
    {
        //Retrieving addresses of used API functions
        OpenDevice=(G69DDC_OPEN_DEVICE)dlsym(API,"OpenDevice");
        CloseDevice=(G69DDC_CLOSE_DEVICE)dlsym(API,"CloseDevice");

        //Here place code that uses the API

        dlclose(API);
    }
    else
    {
        //If the dlopen fails
        printf("Failed to load libg69ddcapi.so. %s\n",dlerror());
    }
}

List of available G69DDC devices

The G69DDC API provides the GetDeviceList function which returns list of locally available G69DDC devices which can be opened by the OpenDevice function.

The following source code produces a list of serial numbers for the available G69DDC devices.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include "g69ddcapi.h"

G69DDC_GET_DEVICE_LIST GetDeviceList;
G69DDC_FREE_DEVICE_LIST FreeDeviceList;
void *API;

int main(void)
{
 uint32_t Count,i;
 G69DDC_DEVICE_INFO *DeviceList;

    //Loading the API
    API=dlopen("libg69ddcapi.so",RTLD_LAZY);

    if(API!=NULL)
    {
        //Retrieving address of the GetDeviceList function
        GetDeviceList=(G69DDC_GET_DEVICE_LIST)dlsym(API,"GetDeviceList");
        FreeDeviceList=(G69DDC_FREE_DEVICE_LIST)dlsym(API,"FreeDeviceList");

        //Retrieving information about available devices
        if(GetDeviceList(&DeviceList,&Count))

            if(Count!=0)
            {
                printf("Available G69DDC devices count=%d:\n",Count);
    
                for(i=0;i<Count;i++)
                {
                    printf("%d. SN: %s\n",i,DeviceList[i].SerialNumber);
                }                    
        
                FreeDeviceList(DeviceList);
            }
            else

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

The G69DDC device has to be turned on using the SetPower function before use of StartADCSnapshots, otherwise the StartADCSnapshots function fails.

Too low a value of the Interval parameter and high number of samples per snapshot can dramatically increase data flow through USB/LAN which could cause failure of active streaming.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

Use the GetDDCCount function to determine the number of possible DDC types of DDC channel (DDC1 or DDC2). In this case the DDCTypeIndex parameter can vary from zero to one less than the number determined by the GetDDCCount.

Use the GetDDC function to determine the current DDC type index of DDC channel (DDC1 or DDC2).

DDC channels are created dynamically during run time when they are required. The DDC1 channel can be created using the CreateDDC1 function and the DDC2 channel can be created using the CreateDDC2 function.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

The maximum number of DDC2 channels which can be created with the CreateDDC2 function, is determined by the MaxDDC2ChannelCount member of the G69DDC_DEVICE_INFO structure.

The maximum number of DDC2 channels which are connected to the same DDC1 channel, is determined by the MaxDDC2ChannelsPerDDC1Channel member of the G69DDC_DEVICE_INFO structure.

Use the DeleteDDC function to delete the DDC2 channel created by CreateDDC2.


DeleteDDC

Deletes the DDC (DDC1 or DDC2) channel previously created by the CreateDDC1 or CreateDDC2 function.

C/C++ declaration

int DeleteDDC(int32_t hDevice,uint32_t DDCChannelId);

Address retrieval

G69DDC_DELETE_DDC DeleteDDC=(G69DDC_DELETE_DDC)dlsym(hAPI,"DeleteDDC");

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
DDCChannelId
[in] Identification number of the DDC channel created by the CreateDDC1 or CreateDDC2 function.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

If DDCChannelId is the identification number of the DDC1 channel (primary DDC), the DeleteDDC function deletes this DDC1 channel including all the DDC2 (secondary DDC) channels connected to the deleted DDC1 channel. When the DeleteDDC returns, identification numbers of these DDC channels will be invalid and no longer usable.


GetDDCCount

Retrieves the number of DDC types supported by the given DDC channel (DDC1 or DDC2).

C/C++ declaration

int GetDDCCount(int32_t hDevice,uint32_t DDCChannelId,uint32_t *Count);

Address retrieval

G69DDC_GET_DDC_COUNT GetDDCCount=(G69DDC_GET_DDC_COUNT)dlsym(hAPI,"GetDDCCount");

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
DDCChannelId
[in] Identification number of the DDC channel created by the CreateDDC1 or CreateDDC2 function.
Count
[out] Pointer to a variable which receives the number of DDC types supported by the given DDC channel. This parameter cannot be NULL.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

Different DDC channels can support a different number of DDC types.

The maximum number of DDC types supported by the DDC1 channel is determined by the MaxDDC1TypeCount member of the G69DDC_DEVICE_INFO structure. This number can be affected by the type of interface used for connection of the G69DDC device to computer. The G69DDC device, which is connected via LAN or USB2 interface, supports less DDC types than the device connected via USB3.

The maximum number of DDC types supported by the DDC2 channel is determined by the MaxDDC2TypeCount member of the G69DDC_DEVICE_INFO structure but it cannot be greater than the current DDC type index of the connected DDC1 channel + 1.


SetDDC

Sets the current DDC type in the given DDC channel (DDC1 or DDC2).

C/C++ declaration

int SetDDC(int32_t hDevice,uint32_t DDCChannelId,uint32_t DDCTypeIndex);

Address retrieval

G69DDC_SET_DDC SetDDC=(G69DDC_SET_DDC)dlsym(hAPI,"SetDDC");

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
DDCChannelId
[in] Identification number of the DDC channel created by the CreateDDC1 or CreateDDC2 function.
DDCTypeIndex
[in] Specifies the index of DDC type to be used in the specified DDC channel. It can vary from zero to one less than the number of supported DDC types of the DDC channel.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

Use the GetDDCCount function to determine the number of possible DDC types of DDC channel. The DDCTypeIndex parameter can vary from zero to one less than the number determined by GetDDCCount.

The specified DDC channel must be idle, DDC streaming must not run when calling SetDDC. In other words, DDC streaming which is started using the StartDDC function has to be stopped using the StopDDC function before calling of SetDDC, otherwise SetDDC fails. The SetDDC function does not start and stop DDC streaming, it just changes the DDC type of the DDC channel.

Calling of SetDDC on the DDC1 channel can change the current DDC type of its DDC2 channels and current bandwidth of demodulator filters, so it is useful to call the GetDDC for DDC2 channels connected to the given DDC1 and GetDemodulatorFilterBandwidth functions immediately after SetDDC to determine the current DDC type of DDC2 channels and current bandwidth of demodulator filters.

Use the GetDDC function to determine the current DDC type of the DDC channel.


GetDDC

Retrieves information about the current DDC type of the DDC1 or DDC2 channel.

C/C++ declaration

int GetDDC(int32_t hDevice,uint32_t DDCChannelId,uint32_t *DDCTypeIndex,G69DDC_DDC_INFO *DDCInfo);

Address retrieval

G69DDC_GET_DDC GetDDC=(G69DDC_GET_DDC)dlsym(hAPI,"GetDDC");

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
DDCChannelId
[in] Identification number of the DDC channel created by the CreateDDC1 or CreateDDC2 function.
DDCTypeIndex
[out] Pointer to a variable which receives the index of current DDC type of the specified DDC channel. This parameter can be NULL if the application does not require this information.
DDCInfo
[out] Pointer to a G69DDC_DDC_INFO structure to be filled with information about the current DDC type of the specified DDC channel. This parameter can be NULL if the application does not require this information.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

The BitsPerSample member of the G69DDC_DDC_INFO structure is not used and it can be ignored for DDC2 channels (if the DDCChannelId is the identification number of the DDC2 channel). I and Q samples in buffers passed to the DDC2StreamCallback and DDC2PreprocessedStreamCallback callback functions are always in IEEE float (32 bit, little endian) format.


SetDDCFrequency

Sets center frequency of the DDC1 or DDC2.

C/C++ declaration

int SetDDCFrequency(int32_t hDevice,uint32_t DDCChannelId,int32_t Frequency);

Address retrieval

G69DDC_SET_DDC_FREQUENCY SetDDCFrequency=(G69DDC_SET_DDC_FREQUENCY)dlsym(hAPI,"SetDDCFrequency");

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
DDCChannelId
[in] Identification number of DDC channel created by the CreateDDC1 or CreateDDC2 function.
Frequency
[in] Specifies the new center frequency of the DDC in Hz.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

If the value of the DDCChannelId parameter is the identification number of the DDC1 channel, the Frequency parameter specifies a new center frequency of the given DDC1 channel relative to the front-end frequency. The value can be negative if the front-end frequency is greater than zero. The absolute center frequency of the DDC1 channel is given by the following formula:

faDDC1 = fFE + frDDC1

Where faDDC1 is the absolute center frequency of the DDC1 channel in Hz, fFE is front-end frequency and frDDC1 is the relative center frequency of the given DDC1 channel in Hz.

If the value of the DDCChannelId parameter is the identification number of the DDC2 channel, the Frequency specifies a new center frequency of the DDC2 channel relative to the center frequency of its DDC1 channel. The value can be negative. The absolute center frequency of the DDC2 channel is given by the following formula:

faDDC2 = fFE + frDDC1 + frDDC2

Where faDDC2 is the absolute center frequency of the DDC2 channel in Hz, fFE is front-end frequency, frDDC1 is the relative center frequency of the corresponding DDC1 channel in Hz and frDDC2 is the relative center frequency of the DDC2 channel in Hz.

A change of center frequency of the DDC1 channel causes a change of absolute frequency of the DDC2 channels (and its demodulators) connected to the given DDC1 channel.

Use the GetDDCFrequency function to determine the current center frequency of the DDC1 or DDC2 channel.

The following example shows three methods of how it is possible to set the absolute DDC2 center frequency to 60.01 MHz:

int32_t hDevice; //Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function
uint32_t DDC1Id; //Identifier of the DDC1 channel created by the CreateDDC1 function: CreateDDC1(hDevice,&DDC1Id)
uint32_t DDC2Id; //Identifier of the DDC2 channel created by the CreateDDC2 function: CreateDDC2(hDevice,DDC1Id,&DDC2Id)

//1. method (in range 1)
SetFrontEndFrequency(hDevice,0); //Set active receiver's input to the range 1 (0 - 80 MHz)
SetDDCFrequency(hDevice,DDC1Id,60010000);
SetDDCFrequency(hDevice,DDC2Id,0);

//2. method (in range 1), it can be used if bandwidth of DDC2 is less than bandwidth of DDC1
SetFrontEndFrequency(hDevice,0);
SetDDCFrequency(hDevice,DDC1Id,60000000);
SetDDCFrequency(hDevice,DDC2Id,10000);

//3. method (in range 2 - 60.01 MHz can be tuned in range as well as in range 2), it can be used if bandwidth of DDC2 is less than bandwidth of DDC1
SetFrontEndFrequency(hDevice,60000000);
SetDDCFrequency(hDevice,DDC1Id,20000);
SetDDCFrequency(hDevice,DDC2Id,-10000);

GetDDCFrequency

Retrieves the current center frequency of DDC1 or DDC2.

C/C++ declaration

int GetDDCFrequency(int32_t hDevice,uint32_t DDCChannelId,int32_t *Frequency);

Address retrieval

G69DDC_GET_DDC_FREQUENCY GetDDCFrequency=(G69DDC_GET_DDC_FREQUENCY)dlsym(hAPI,"GetDDCFrequency");

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
DDCChannelId
[in] Identification number of the DDC channel created by the CreateDDC1 or CreateDDC2 function.
Frequency
[out] Pointer to a variable which receives the current center frequency of the DDC1 or DDC2 channel in Hz. This parameter cannot be NULL.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

If the value of the DDCChannelId parameter is the identification number of the DDC1 channel, the received frequency is the center frequency of the given DDC1 channel relative to the front-end frequency.

If the value of the DDCChannelId parameter is the identification number of the DDC2 channel, the received frequency is the center frequency of the DDC2 channel relative to the center frequency of its DDC1 channel.


StartDDC

Starts DDC1 or DDC2 streaming.

C/C++ declaration

int StartDDC(int32_t hDevice,uint32_t DDCChannelId,uint32_t SampleSetsPerBuffer);

Address retrieval

G69DDC_START_DDC StartDDC=(G69DDC_START_DDC)dlsym(hAPI,"StartDDC");

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
DDCChannelId
[in] Identification number of the DDC channel created by the CreateDDC1 or CreateDDC2 function.
SampleSetsPerBuffer
[in] If the DDCChannelId is the identification number of the DDC1 channel, this parameter specifies the number of I/Q sample sets in each buffer passed to the DDC1StreamCallback callback function. If the DDCChannelId parameter is the identification number of the DDC2, the SampleSetsPerBuffer specifies the number of I/Q sample sets in each buffer passed to the DDC2StreamCallback and DDC2StreamCallback callback functions. If the current DDC type index (specified by the SetDDC function) is less than or equal to 24 (DDC bandwidth <= 5 MHz) the value of the SampleSetsPerBuffer has to be a multiple of 64. If the current DDC type index is greater than 24 (DDC bandwidth > 5 MHz), the SampleSetsPerBuffer has to be a multiple of 1024. If the value of the SampleSetsPerBuffer is not a multiple of 64/1024, the function rounds it up to the nearest multiple of 64/1024. If it is zero, the StartDDC function fails.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

The G69DDC device has to be turned on using the SetPower function before StartDDC is used otherwise StartDDC fails.

If the DDC streaming is already running before use of StartDDC, StartDDC fails.

If the DDCChannelId is the identification number of the DDC2 channel, streaming in the connected DDC1 channel has to be already started (using StartDDC or the StartDDC1Playback function) before starting the DDC2 streaming.

Use the StopDDC function to stop streaming in the given DDC channel.

Decreasing the value of the SampleSetsPerBuffer parameter decreases latency and may increase CPU usage. Increasing the value of the SampleSetsPerBuffer parameter increases latency and may decrease CPU usage.


StopDDC

Stops DDC1 or DDC2 streaming.

C/C++ declaration

int StopDDC(int32_t hDevice,uint32_t DDCChannelId);

Address retrieval

G69DDC_STOP_DDC StopDDC=(G69DDC_STOP_DDC)dlsym(hAPI,"StopDDC");

DDCChannelId
[in] Identification number of the DDC channel created by the CreateDDC1 or CreateDDC2 function.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

If streaming is not active in the given DDC channel, StopDDC does nothing.

If the DDCChannelId parameter specifies the identification number of the DDC1 channel, the StopDDC function also stops all the streaming beyond this DDC channel in the processing chain (DDC2 and audio streaming in all the connected channels).

If DDC1 playback is running (started using StartDDC1Playback) before use of StopDDC, the StopDDC function stops it.

The DDC1StreamCallback and DDC1PlaybackStreamCallback callback functions are not called after StopDDC returns.

If the DDCChannelId parameter specifies the identification number of the DDC2 channel, the StopDDC function also stops the corresponding audio streaming.

The DDC2StreamCallback and DDC2PreprocessedStreamCallback callback functions are not called after StopDDC returns.


StartDDC1Playback

Starts DDC1 playback allows the passing of previously recorded DDC1 I/Q samples to the processing chain instead of the samples received from the device.

If the current DDC type index (specified by the SetDDC function) is less than or equal to 24 (DDC bandwidth <= 5 MHz) the value of the SampleSetsPerBuffer has to be a multiple of 64. If the current the DDC type index is greater than 24 (DDC bandwidth > 5 MHz), the SampleSetsPerBuffer has to be a multiple of 1024. If the value of the SampleSetsPerBuffer is not a multiple of 64/1024, the function rounds it up to the nearest multiple of 64/1024. If it is zero, the StartDDC1Playback function fails.
BitsPerSample
[in] Specifies the number of bits per I and Q samples. It is used for both DDC1PlaybackStreamCallback and DDC1StreamCallback callback functions. The possible value is one of the following:

ValueMeaning
0I and Q samples have a default number of bits. It is given by the BitsPerSample member of the G69DDC_DDC_INFO structure which can be retrieved using the GetDDC or GetDDCInfo function. Possible values are 16 or 32 bits per sample, signed, little endian.

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
DDC2ChannelId
[in] Identification number of the DDC2 channel created by the CreateDDC2 function.
Peak
[out] Pointer to a variable which receives the current signal level (peak) in Volts. This parameter can be NULL if the application does not require this information.
RMS
[out] Pointer to a variable which receives the current signal level (RMS) in Volts. This parameter can be NULL if the application does not require this information.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

DDC2 streaming has to be active (started using the StartDDC function) before calling of GetSignalLevel, otherwise the returned peak and RMS signal level values are invalid.

The signal level is evaluated from the signal before the demodulator filter and before the notch filter (see the block diagram), the signal is selected by the demodulator filter.

The signal level is evaluated for each buffer processed by the demodulator filter. Buffer size (signal level evaluation rate) is given by the SampleSetsPerBuffer parameter of the StartDDC function.

The DDC2PreprocessedStreamCallback callback function provides the signal level for each buffer passed to the callback, i.e. for each buffer used in the signal level evaluation. This provides a way to get the signal level from each processed buffer without the need to poll it using GetSignalLevel.

To convert RMS signal level in Volts to power in dBm use the following formulas:

P[W] = (VRMS)2 / R = (VRMS)2 / 50

P[dBm]= 10 * log10( P[W] * 1000 )

Where VRMS is the RMS signal level in Volts obtained by GetSignalLevel, R is the G69DDC receiver input impedance (50 Ω), P[W] is power in Watts and P[dBm] is power in dBm and 1000 is conversion coefficient W -> mW.

The following example shows how to obtain the current signal level in dBm from the DDC2 channel:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int32_t hDevice; //Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function
uint32_t DDC1Id; //Identifier of the DDC1 channel created by the CreateDDC1 function: CreateDDC1(hDevice,&DDC1Id)
uint32_t DDC2Id; //Identifier of the DDC2 channel created by the CreateDDC2 function: CreateDDC2(hDevice,DDC1Id,&DDC2Id)
float P_dBm,V_RMS;

GetSignalLevel(hDevice,DDC2Id,NULL,&V_RMS);

P_dBm=10.0*log10(V_RMS*V_RMS*(1000.0/50.0));

printf("Current signal level [RMS]: %.1f dBm\n",P_dBm);

Remarks

The value of the Frequency parameter is the center frequency of the demodulator relative to the center of the DDC2. The value can be negative.

The absolute frequency of the demodulator is given by the following formula:

faDEM = fFE + frDDC1 + frDDC2 + frDEM

Where faDEM is the absolute center frequency of the demodulator in Hz, fFE is front-end frequency in Hz (see the SetFrontEndFrequency function), frDDC1 is the relative center frequency of the DDC1 in Hz (set using the SetDDCFrequency function), frDDC2 is the relative center frequency of DDC2 in Hz (set using the SetDDCFrequency) and frDEM is relative center frequency of the demodulator in Hz (set using SetDemodulatorFrequency).

The absolute center frequency of the demodulator is the real-world frequency which you are listening to.

Use the GetDemodulatorFrequency function to determine the current relative center frequency of the demodulator for the given channel.

The following example shows four methods of how to set the absolute demodulator center frequency to 60.01 MHz:

int32_t hDevice; //Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function
uint32_t DDC1Id; //Identifier of the DDC1 channel created by the CreateDDC1 function: CreateDDC1(hDevice,&DDC1Id)
uint32_t DDC2Id; //Identifier of the DDC2 channel created by the CreateDDC2 function: CreateDDC2(hDevice,DDC1Id,&DDC2Id)

//1. method (in range 1)
SetFrontEndFrequency(hDevice,0); //Set active receiver's input to the range 1 (0 - 80 MHz)
SetDDCFrequency(hDevice,DDC1Id,60010000);
SetDDCFrequency(hDevice,DDC2Id,0);
SetDemodulatorFrequency(hDevice,DDC2Id,0);

//2. method (in range 1)
SetFrontEndFrequency(hDevice,0);
SetDDCFrequency(hDevice,DDC1Id,60000000);
SetDDCFrequency(hDevice,DDC2Id,10000);
SetDemodulatorFrequency(hDevice,DDC2Id,0);

SetFrontEndFrequency(hDevice,60000000);
SetDDCFrequency(hDevice,DDC1Id,20000);
SetDDCFrequency(hDevice,DDC2Id,-5000);
SetDemodulatorFrequency(hDevice,DDC2Id,-5000);

//4. method
SetFrequency(hDevice,DDC2Id,60010000); 
//The SetFrequency function selects proper receiver's input range and sets front-end, DDC1, DDC2 and demodulator
//frequencies so that demodulator's absolute frequency is set to the required frequency

Remarks

The function selects the correct receiver input range and sets front-end, DDC1, DDC2 and demodulator frequencies so that the new absolute frequency of the demodulator is the requested one.

The absolute frequency of the demodulator is given by the following formula:

faDEM = fFE + frDDC1 + frDDC2 + frDEM

Where faDEM is the absolute center frequency of the demodulator in Hz, fFE is the front-end frequency (see SetFrontEndFrequency function), frDDC1 is the relative center frequency of the DDC1 in Hz (set using the SetDDCFrequency function), frDDC2 is the relative center frequency of DDC2 in Hz (set using the SetDDCFrequency) and frDEM[i] is the relative center frequency of the demodulator in Hz (set using the SetDemodulatorFrequency function).

The absolute center frequency of the demodulator is the real-world frequency which you are listening to.

When changing the front-end frequency or DDC1 center frequency, the function can affect the absolute center frequency of other DDC2 channels (demodulators) which are connected to the same DDC1 as the given DDC2 channel.

Use the GetFrequency function to retrieve the current absolute frequency of the demodulator.

[in] Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
DDC2ChannelId
[in] Identification number of the DDC2 channel created by the CreateDDC2 function.
Frequency
[out] Pointer to a variable which receives the current absolute frequency of the demodulator. This parameter cannot be NULL.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

The returned value of the variable pointed to by the Frequency parameter is the sum of the front-end frequency and relative frequencies of the DDC1, DDC2 and demodulator. For more information, see the remarks for the SetFrequency function.

StartSweeper

Starts the sweeper.

C/C++ declaration

int StartSweeper(int32_t hDevice,uint64_t BeginFrequency,uint64_t EndFrequency,uint64_t StartFrequency,
                            uint32_t Step,int Forward,uint32_t Repeat,uint32_t SamplesPerSnapshot);

Address retrieval

G69DDC_START_SWEEPER StartSweeper=(G69DDC_START_SWEEPER)dlsym(hAPI,"StartSweeper");

Parameters

hDevice
[in] Handle to G69DDC device returned by the OpenDevice function.
BeginFrequency
[in] Specifies the start frequency of the sweeping range in Hz.
EndFrequency
[in] Specifies the end frequency of the sweeping range in Hz.
StartFrequency
[in] Specifies the frequency to start sweeping from. It must be within sweeping range given by the BeginFrequency and EndFrequency parameters. Use the same value as for BeginFrequency to start sweeping from the beginning of the sweeping range.
Step
[in] Specified sweeper tuning step in Hz. The value can be one of the following:

ValueTuning step
G69DDC_SWEEPER_STEP_2MHZ2 MHz
G69DDC_SWEEPER_STEP_6MHZ6 MHz
G69DDC_SWEEPER_STEP_10MHZ10 MHz
G69DDC_SWEEPER_STEP_30MHZ30 MHz
Forward
[in] Specifies the sweeper direction. If the value is non-zero, the sweeper runs in a loop from the BeginFrequency to the EndFrequency. If the value is zero, the sweeper runs in a loop from the EndFrequency to BeginFrequency.
Repeat
[in] Specifies how many additional snapshots will be taken at the same front-end frequency. If this parameter is zero, a single snapshot is taken on each tuned front-end frequency. If this parameter is non-zero then Repeat+1 snapshots are taken at the same front-end frequency. This can be useful for frequency spectrum averaging during sweeping.
SamplesPerSnapshot
[in] Specifies the number of 16-bit samples per single ADC snapshot during sweeping. In other words, it is the number of samples per buffer passed to the SweeperCallback callback function. It can be one of the following:

ValueNumber of samples per snapshot

G69DDC_ADC_SAMPLES_PER_SNAPSHOT_128K131072
G69DDC_ADC_SAMPLES_PER_SNAPSHOT_256K262144

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, check errno.

Remarks

The G69DDC device has to be turned on using the SetPower function before StartSweeper is used, otherwise StartSweeper fails.

DDC streams (StartDDC, StartDDC1Playback) and ADC snapshots (StartADCSnapshots) must not be running before StartSweeper is used, otherwise StartSweeper fails.

When the sweeper runs, the receiver is tuned sequentially to frequencies within the range given by the BeginFrequency and EndFrequency parameters. The tuning direction is given by the Forward parameter. Tuning step is specified by the Step parameter.

The BeginFrequency has to be less than the EndFrequency.

Values of the BeginFrequency and EndFrequency can be within range given by the Range2.MinFrequency and Range2.MaxFrequency members of the G69DDC_DEVICE_INFO structure. Zero can be used as BeginFrequency, as well. This indicates that range 1 is included in the sweeper loop.

The SweeperCallback callback is invoked N times for each tuned frequency to pass N ADC snapshots to the application during sweeping, where N = Repeat + 1. The ADC snapshots are made sequentially in different times.

Use the StopSweeper function to stop the sweeper.


StopSweeper

Stops the sweeper which was previously started using the StartSweeper function.

C/C++ declaration

int StopSweeper(int32_t hDevice);

//Let the following is prototype of a function which computes FFT from I/Q signal stored in
//the buffer pointed to be the Input parameter. Result is stored in complex form in the buffer
//pointed to by the Output parameter. Size of the FFT is given be the Size parameter.

//Retrieve compensation data
GetSpectrumCompensation(hDevice,FrontEndFrequency,RelDDC1Frequency+RelDDC2Frequency,DDC2Info.SampleRate,Compensation,2048);
//In this case the Bandwidth parameter is equal to sample rate, because we need compensation data
//for whole DDC2 band.
//Compensation data have to be updated after change of absolute DDC2 frequency changing 
//front-end frequency, center frequency of its DDC1 or relative center frequency of itself.


FirstBin=2048*(DDC2Info.SampleRate-DDC2Info.Bandwidth)/2/DDC2Info.SampleRate;

//Start DDC2 streaming
//The SampleSetsPerBuffer parameter is set to 2048 which is size of the FFT to simplify
//the example.
StartDDC(hDevice,DDC2Id,2048);

    for(i=0;i<2048;i++)
    {
        FFTBuffer[i]=(float)(10.0*log10(FFTBuffer[i*2]*FFTBuffer[i*2]+FFTBuffer[i*2+1]*FFTBuffer[i*2+1]));
    }

Flags
A set of bits flags. This member can be a combination of the following flags:

ValueMeaning
G69DDC_DEVICE_STATE_HIGH_TEMPERATURECritical temperature is detected and the device is turned off automatically. In this case the application should call SetPower to turn off explicitly.
Temperatures
Internal device's temperatures in °C. If temperature is not available or it is unknown the value is equal to G69DDC_TEMPERATURE_UNKNOWN.
FanRPM
Device's fan rotations per minute. Zero value means the fan is off.
DataTransferred
Total number of bytes transferred from/to device since it has been open.
DataLost
Total number of bytes lost. A non-zero value can indicate an unreliable (USB/LAN) connection or connection with insufficient data throughput.
